BlueCo is preparing a second approach for the ‘wonder player’ after rejecting Chelsea’s £61m bid

Chelsea is willing to make another move to achieve BlueCo’s “fantastic” target after seeing the offer already rejected, according to a new report.

Chelsea have enjoyed a spending spree in the summer but are still lacking in key areas

last summer, Enzo MarescaThe side has branded themselves as Premier LeagueThe second biggest spender behind champions Liverpool – spending up to £280m on new recruits.

Chelsea offset this significant investment in the squad by agreeing to a large number of player sales over the course of the transfer window, so much so that they actually recorded negative net spending and made a small profit.

From a purely commercial perspective, the summer was an undoubted success, and Maresca saw the likes of teenage star Estevao – who had just scored the winner against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge – Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens and Alejandro Garnacho come in to bolster his attacking options.

However, apart from signing young defender Jurel Hato from Ajax, Chelsea ended the window without new options for the defensive line.

Following Levi Colwell’s anterior cruciate ligament injury, which is expected to keep him out for most of 2025/26, Maresca has been clear in his desire for another centre-back and publicly urged The club will sign one before the September 1 deadline.

This was not the case, leaving West Londoners lacking in quality in a key area, while Chelsea’s attempts to sign another goalkeeper I also tripped.

Maresca is believed to be unhappy with his current squad at Chelsea (Simon Phillips), but reports indicate that they are ready to try to support the Italian with a confirmed defender in January (Pete O’Rourke).

Meanwhile, as it will take some time for Delap to regain his speed once he returns from injury, Chelsea are also on the lookout for new striker options for the winter market – which will come for a cheap fee, on loan or perhaps already owned by BlueCo (Simon Phillips).

Chelsea could also opt to bring in another winger, namely Juventus star Kenan Yildiz.

Chelsea are approaching Kenan Yildiz for the second time after rejecting a £61m offer

Fabrizio Romano has already confirmed this Chelsea are ‘very interested’ in YildizNow a report from Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport has shed more light on the situation.

According to their information, Chelsea’s £61m bid for the Turkish international was rejected last summer, but Maresca’s side have not given up on his signature just yet.

And he believes so Chelsea will make a second approach for Yildizwith the Old Lady experiencing some delays regarding his new contract and the Stamford Bridge side sensing there was an opportunity to take him from Torino.

The 20-year-old was Juve’s star player last season, scoring 12 goals and nine assists in all competitions, for a total of 21 contributions, and has the highest Serie A rating out of all his team-mates with more than 15 contributions (Who registered?).

He has started this season just as strongly, averaging more shots and key passes per 90 than any other Juve player in Serie A (Who registered?), but Romano says the Premier League is not attractive to him at the moment amid renewal talks.
